Handpainted Furniture Before and After Level 2 Students


Here are a few examples of the handpainted furniture our Level 2 Students  desgned recently. The photos clearly show the amount of design detail and work they put into their designs. Our External Assessor was very pleased with the final outcomes.

Fortunately members of the public also agreed as these pieces have been purchased by the discerning patrons of Lewes East Sussex!




The three pieces here show different kinds of decorative paint techniques. The green and black table has a malachite effect. The turquoise peacock is an example of a handmade stencil with a gilding effect, and the black and white table has an example of broken colour technique in its corners.






As you can see surface preparation is very important and it takes a great deal of time and patience to get to a point where you are ready to begin painting your design idea. Patience is a virtue though because the more time spent on preparation the better the finished product will be.
